This is from a movie review in the Washington Post

<snip>

There's sickening violence in store, but "Turistas" never segues into pure slice-arama, though the filmmakers take a detour into global consciousness -- you know, issues of crass Americans and Eurotrash partying through the poorer corners of the planet. This speechifying comes from the movie's requisite evil guy, who finds his philosophy by way of Noam Chomsky and Hannibal Lecter. You come to our country and give nothing. This time you will give something. Cue fiendish laughter!
